CVE-2006-5776

Exp

Multiple PHP remote file inclusions in Ariadne 2.4.1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code via the ariadne parameter in (1) ftp/loader.php and (2) lib/includes/loader.cmd.php. NOTE: this issue is disputed by CVE, since installation instructions recommend that the files be placed outside of the web document root and require the administrator to modify $ariadne in an include file
